The "I'm Fine!" Emergency Visit

Final Cost:

$836.75

On the one hand: it's better than being dead.

On the other hand: they spent 4 hours and charged me $836.75 to tell me that there was nothing wrong with me.

And people wonder why poor people never go to the doctor until they're literally bleeding and falling over on the floor?

This is why.

Remember what you said about being too sensitive about certain personal push-button issues? Because I don't think you're being too sensitive.

What makes me even angrier at this bill is that two days later, I spent half an hour at PP, found out what is most likely actually wrong with me, and was charged $89.
